Yes some are crappy, depends on the manufacturer, my HD4850 is by HIS, and works very well, the main problem I think you will find is the CCC, the temperature sensor setting is too low, you can manually override this and set the fan to 100% and will usually fix the overheating problem, however a better option is to use ATI Tray tools, you can set several fan speed settings to temperature settings and works well, my GPU sits around 42 to 52 degrees C, now if I reboot and idle in dos or bios Tray tools/ccc is not active and the temperature soon rises to over 60 degrees C, the best option really is manual control or if I could afford it, water cooled!!
